Abstract: The integer frequency offset will cause a circular shift of the OFDM symbol and consequently degrate the system performance. A novel integer frequency offset estimation algorithm for the OFDM system is proposed, which employs the differential relation among data symbols on different subcarriers in only one OFDM block. The estimator for integer frequency offset estimation is derived based on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation theory. It is shown that the new algorithm possesses better performance than the conventional method without the increase in complexity.

Key words: OFDM, integer frequency offset, maximum likelihood estimation
